Messi’s closest partner De Paul! Loan to International Miami!

Rodrigo de Paul (31, Atletico Madrid) will replace Lionel Messi (38, Miami International). Fabricio Romano, a reporter familiar with the European football transfer market, reported on the 16th: "Rodrigo de Paul is about to transfer to Miami International." De Paul is an Argentine midfielder born in 1994. He initially played in an attacking midfielder, but after playing for Udinese, he gradually stabilized in the central defender position. He is well-motivated and endurance, and is well versed in the offense and defense, and is known for being the defensive substitute for Lionel Messi in the Argentina national team.

He has excellent dribbling ability and physical confrontation, and also has typical footsteps and breakthrough abilities of South American players. When playing for Udinese, his dribbling success rate ranked top, but this advantage has been significantly weakened after transferring to Atletico Madrid. His kicking power is excellent, mid-range shots and high-loops are extremely threatening, but his narrow vision causes him to frequently miss passes. He is prone to unstable conditions. When he is in poor condition, his performance will drop sharply due to excessive breakthroughs and frequent mistakes. DePaul is a versatile midfielder, but he relies more on physical strength and fighting spirit than on skills. On the 17th, after Romano reported, the US "ESPN" explained the contract terms: "According to this newspaper confirming from multiple channels, DePaul will join Miami International with a short-term loan contract, and will have a permanent transfer option afterward."
